I
For a long while, I wondered if Dragonfly was still in
the heavens and whether the Spheres of Plague still floated
in airlessness, blind eyes watchful. I wondered whether
men still looked to the stars with trepidation and whether
the skies yet bore the cancerous seed of mankind. There
was no way for me to find out, for I lived in Hell during
those days, where news of the living gained precious little
circulation.

I was a digger into minds, a head-tripper. I escaped. I
found secrets, knew lies, and reported all these things for
a price. I escaped. Some questions were never meant to be
answered; some parts of a man's mind were never intended
for scrutiny. Yet our curiosity is, at the same time, our
greatest virtue and our most serious weakness. I had
within my mind the power to satisfy any curiosity which
tickled me. I esp; I found; I knew. And then there was
a darkness in my soul, darkness unmatched by the depths
of space that lay lightless between the galaxies, an ebony
ache without parallel.
